The United States empire (USE) is a crew founded in December 2015 by Galaxy219 and currently led by GO_BLUE (CelticTiger38) and Raven228. It is the largest and most active American crew on the server.

Beginning

USE was founded in November 2015 by former Elf Galaxy219. USE was formed because Galaxy got into a fight with some of the other Elves so he decided to leave and make his own crew. This did not go over well with some of the Elven Empire leaders such as CelticTiger38 so they led an attack on Galaxy that lasted about 12 hours. After the attack was over, Galaxy decided to stay with his new crew and he was joined by several other players such as Red_Wing and SBurger6969.

Prosperity and Trouble

Early December marked a very successful and prospering time for USE. New members included Quackbot, BlackMambaVenom, AidsPlays, _grandon_, Xboy123, Astrobolt, lites59. They formed a very nice town called Decky Town that served as the Capitol of the empire. Decky Town was a large fortress with many watchtowers and it had two mob spawners nearby. There was also an expansive mine within Decky Town that helped crew members obtain resources.

After a couple of weeks, all was not well in USE. The troubles first started when Decky Town was attacked three times in one week in early December.The lack of proper coordination between the USE members caused CelticHawk to leave the crew. USE continued to get attacked throughout the whole month by various crews such as CoV, Cubigran, and Solis. There was also a name dispute with the Thirteen Colonies over the rights to the United States name. Despite all of these problems, USE held together and had over 40 members by the time the new year started.

Coup on USE

On New Years Eve, a group of USE members led by AidsPlays demoted Galaxy219 and overthrew the USE government. The situation got worse after Galaxy found out and AidsPlays lied claiming it was a glitch. Aids later gave Galaxy control back and then left to form the crew SKATS with QuackBot, BlackMambaVenom, CelticHawk, and SBurger6969.

Inactivity

After SKATS was formed, Galaxy and Red_Wing declared war on them. The war lasted for a very short time and the members of SKATS rejoined USE (except Celtic and SBurger, as they joined Enigma). After this was settled, most of USE went inactive for a long time, leading to loss of members. They reemerged in early February, with Galaxy and Red_Wing rejoining the Elves due to bordom and their past ally, CelticHawk, being in it. Before they left however, they put Xboy123 in charge so the crew would not go completely inactive.

The New Age

In May 2016, Galaxy, Larry_Palomino (formerly known as Red_Wing), Sburger, and Sir_Croc0dile (Celtic) rejoined USE. After improving the ruined crew home, they got into a war with the 13 Colonies, which is currently ongoing according to the Thirteen Colonies leader NickyB_123, but little action has happened so far and attempts at resolving the conflict diplomatically have failed. Minor attacks against The United States Empire started to become more and more frequent by rogue pirates.

More Problems and The Downfall of the New Age

After USE reformed, it became clear that the new government was failing. Fights were constantly breaking out and the empire was practically in turmoil. A civil war was breaking the empire apart. Finally, after all the fights, Galaxy219 and Xboy123 left USE and joined Solis, leaving Sir_Croc0dile as president. Croc0dile attempted to rule with Larry_Palomino (now known as Astros_Mother} as his vice president, but Astros_Mother ended up leaving the crew. Croc0dile then ruled with SBurger6969 as his Vice President, but Croc stepped down in mid-June, leaving SBurger as the new president.

USE was revived again in October 2016 by CelticHawk, Raven228 (Red_Wing), Galaxy219, Xboy123, and SBurger6969. They built a new settlement, Sailorton. This new revival did not last long, however, as everyone eventually became busy and left, save for SBurger, who became interim president once again.

Current Era

In March 2017, USE was reformed once more. Galaxy was not apart of this rebuild, but he decided to play an advisory role instead. The new government was led by CelticHawk (then known as Pennsylvania_), Raven228, and SBurger6969. Loyal members Merk_Slayer (AidsPlays) and Xboy123 also returned. One of the first things the new government did was build a roof on top of Decky Town. They also started to build trails from the Western part of the Empire to the Eastern part. At that point, it looked as though USE was going to grow and prosper.

However, things did not go as planned. There was a war with The Fire Nation, a former ally. The USE won this war, but some USE members betrayed the crew and joined TFN, weakening the USE. Celtic and Raven also became far less active, and Raven228 was later banned for a profanity-laden rant against Astrobolt and others. After his ban, Celtic basically quit. Although Raven was later unbanned, he did not return to the server much, nor did Celtic. Currently, the crew is in a state of extreme inactivity, and there is not clear direction for the future.

Geography

USE is a fairly large nation in the Southwestern part of the piratecraft world. It is divided into six states- East Diana, West Diana, Palus, Centralis, North Solitius, and South Solitius. The land is mostly desert and savannah with some swamp and forest mixed in. The capital of Decky Town lies in the center of the country.

Other Lands Colonized by USE

USE was able to take over some land far away from the capital. The most well known conquer was an island that had one of Celtic's homes on it. The island was originally a peaceful refuge for Celtic to relax and be safe on but then Galaxy219 and Raven228 came in and built bases on it, turning it into a new village for the United States Empire. The island contained a horse business that had little success and it had Xboy123's base and AidsPlays' base. This island was rarely attacked however, internal conflicts arose with the civil wars of USE. Galaxy219 and Xboy123 would frequently cause trouble and fights, generally with bows, would occur in result. The island now has an excess of debris, destroyed buildings, random claims, and destruction of land all over.
